As Sugar Hill moves forward with the development of their portion of the Gwinnett County Trails Master Plan, the city is inviting residents to take a survey to learn about the draft concept to connect Ga. 20 neighborhoods to downtown and Richland Creek.

This effort supports the Sugar Loop Greenway concept by adding an east-west connection along the Ga. 20 corridor (Pinedale Circle to Buford Highway) to improve access from neighborhoods to downtown, local businesses, and the future greenway.

It also includes the north-south connection between downtown and Richland Creek that will form part of the Sugar Loop Greenway. An exact route for the greenway within the study area has not yet been selected and will be determined as part of this planning process.

Take the survey now through Oct. 2: tinyurl.com/SHGreenwaySurvey. Read the full draft report at cityofsugarhill.com/sugarhilltrail.
